| Main Objective: To demonstrate that in elderly Invivac® is not inferior to Influvac® with respect to the immunogenicity of the hemagglutinin (HA) of the three viral strains contained in the vaccines.;Secondary Objective: 1. To investigate whether in elderly Invivac® is not inferior to Fluad® with respect to the immunogenicity of the HA of the three viral strains contained in the vaccines. 2. To investigate whether Invivac® meets the CPMP requirement for immunogenicity in elderly. Safety Objectives: 1. To collect data on the safety and the tolerability of Invivac® in elderly subjects. 2. To investigate whether Invivac® is superior to Fluad® with respect to local reactogenicity. ;Primary end point(s): HI antibody titers | — |
